It solves almost all problems!
In this case, we only need an option that sets whether to select delimiters or not.

Of course Scott is right, delimiters should be assigned to the current language. Or at an additional setting.

And further. It would be nice to have [ctrl + alt + b] work anywhere between the parentheses (like dblclck + ctrl). In this case, if you press [ctrl + alt + b] several times, the selection should expand to the next and next delimiters.

@Ryan-Lloyd

So here’s how it works. It takes your selection and assumes that you want to open that as a file (or files). If your selection contains spaces and doesn’t have double quotes, then each space-separated “token” will be considered a different file. If each token doesn’t contain path information, Notepad++ will attempt to open that “file” in the current folder (which in the portable install I use, is the folder that Notepad++.exe lives in). If the “intended” file isn’t found, Notepad++ will prompt to create it.

I think this as described is what you are seeing. I don’t think of it as a “bug”, but maybe just something that is less than ideal. :-)
If you are going to use this feature, I’d suggest being careful about what text is selected when you activate it.

Contrast this behavior with the right-click (in a document tab window) entry Open File. There, if you have a similar selection when invoking the feature, you get a popup box that says The file you’re trying to open doesn’t exist. Perhaps it would be better if the Run menu’s version worked similarly…

Hello, @jade-owen,

I’m a bit perplexed ! Indeed, from your example, it looks as you would change the upper-case string ROOM with the upper-case string SPACE, when within a <div>.......</div> range, only… and NOT the LOCAL string !!

If it’s really what you want, the regex, below, should do the job, strictly !

SEARCH (?-is)(<div>.*?LOCAL..-)(.*?)(?=..-.*?</div>)

REPLACE \1SPACE

OPTIONS Tick the Wrap around and Regular expression options

ACTION Click, once, on the Replace All button, or several times on the Replace button

Best Regards,

guy038

P.S. :

Generally speaking, it’s important to point out that regexes are very dependent of the text they are applying against ! Even a simple additional space character, in a text, can break out matches detection of a well-formed regex !

So, I advice everyone, which wants a specific search/replacement, to carefully describe :

The searched text which must be matched

The replacement text which will be inserted, instead

Doing this way should help out to build the right regex(es) and assures you to get a quicker solution, too ;-))

looks like mine is behaving differrent, the window title shows the symbols but the tab text doesn’t.
Maybe related to the fact that I’m using Linux/Wine.
Unfortunately the setting to change the tab text is deactivated.

As of screenshots, you are right, you can’t attach in the forum but what you can do is to upload
to image hosters like imgur and use a sysntax like


and you get a result like this

Thanks for getting back to me. What I want is to use Microsoft Notepad and have Notepad++ save the file every so often. Something caused Windows to shut down and I don’t think it was me. I lost a document that I had not saved for a while. So I’m trying to avoid that in the future.
I will look at what you have suggested. To be frank though, I have no clue what to disable. As to the 7z format you speak of, I have no idea what you are talking about. I found a download button on the website and clicked it. I clearly have some homework to do. Please stay in touch. I will write when I have a better understanding of the program. Thanks, Dave

Known issue with dspellcheck 1.3.2, use 1.3.4 or later, see https://github.com/Predelnik/DSpellCheck/releases. Notepad++ 7.5.4 should be bundled already with dspellcheck version 1.3.4.

UPDATE

Solved!

Please delete this post.

Hello, @laurent-coulon, @peterjones and All,

Even more simple :

SEARCH \b\d{4}\b OR \<\d{4}\>

REPLACE 0$0

Just use the $0 syntax, in replacement, which always represents the entire match. So, it avoids to add parentheses in order to store the match at group 1 :-)

Maybe you want to have a look at https://sourceforge.net/projects/analyseplugin/, also it helps you in logfile analysis just for a single file at a time.

…read the current keyboard layout. This will require some WinAPI calls to the system. Probably it is possible, but I don’t know how to do it from Pythonscript.

For purely educational purposes, here’s a way:

import ctypes buff = ctypes.create_unicode_buffer(1024) ctypes.windll.user32.GetKeyboardLayoutNameW(buff) console.write(buff.value)

This sort of works, but on windows 10 there is same issue as with AHK - it detects the layout
only once when the application starts, but when I switch the layout and repeat the script -
it returns same code value regardless of current layout.

@Wynford-Junior-Thomas

My font size has changed somehow

Just theorizing on what might have happened: Perhaps you had the Ctrl key held down (accidentally) while you scrolled the mouse wheel? In case you didn’t know, this changes the “zoom” level that @Claudia-Frank mentioned…

@Pierre-Panissod

do you have additional infos like where those files are stored,
which npp version do you use (debug-info from ? menu)?
Does it mean that two html files, saved in the same directory,
behave different when on contains the line you mentioned
but identical otherwise?

Cheers
Claudia

@Robert-Hays

Sure? Because the reason why it isn’t working is the elevation level Microsoft introduced
some time ago.

If you run your npp as administrator but the explorer process runs as normal or
different user then it shouldn’t work - in both versions.

If both explorer and npp run under on the same level, e.g. both started as administrator,
then it should work -> 32 as well as on 64 bit
